I got the fuchsia silicon and the pink otterbox lumen. I got ESR screen protectors...
You might want to check out the case thread.... people who've already gotten the Beats say it's really cheap and plasticky looking!
My cases (and my pencil tips a while back) came from Rialto.
Well I wasn't until you brought it up! lol! Now I'm going to post this then get my cases out of their packaging and hold them!
I'm in LA, Cali and I have a tracking number in my UPS My Choice! I forgot how exciting this is to watch for the week leading up to delivery.

By the way, if you sign up for a free UPS my choice account, you’ll get notified the moment a shipping label is printed. No need to deal with constantly trying the reference number.
Or the weather! A few years back there was a typhoon that almost delayed the phones!
This is all just speculation, but I’m guessing they ship the phones first with orders that are further away from UPS hubs, then ship orders that are closer next. I say this because I live right outside NYC and I always get tracking numbers much later than anyone else, lol.
Speculation, yes. But very intriguing speculation. I’d like to see that algorithm.
i too used to live just outside NYC, always got my tracking number early. Now living in Miami Beach...and have my tracking number
I think this does seem to play a part. However, they also seem to send in batches of like models/colors/storage. I wish more people would put their models/color/storage in their posts about progress here
My 16/Ultramarine/128 just went to prepared for shipping but nothing in MyChoice yet. My 16/Teal/128 is still processing. Interestingly, I only have one pending charge on my Apple Card, too.
You may have a point there. I live in Florida, East Coast and I always get my tracking number later than many others and always wondered why even though I ordered two minutes after the opening bell. 😜 I live in West mid Florida near the Clearwater area and it’s preparing to ship and no shipping label or tracking number.

I seem to always get my tracking info later, but I’m in St. Louis. We’re 3.5 hours or less by road from Louisville, KY and an hour by plane.
For my iPhones at or within a couple months of launch while they’re coming directly from overseas they’ve always come UPS for me. However, when I’ve ordered one mid cycle after there’s sufficient stock in the U.S., I’ve had them come FedEx twice if I recall correctly. Could be mistaken, I have a spotty memory.
Did you miss the many posts about creating a free UPS My Choice account and to make it even faster download the UPS app. This will give you all the Deliveries for your address and the detailed tracking info.

********. Not last year but previous year, I had launch day delivery. It was changed to a week later. Launch day does not mean you have it and it can possibly change.
Actually i have a My Choice account, and when i enter my reference code with deleting last two digits, nothing appears. Maybe i miss something? Where can i track the shipment with reference number in the app?
